Overview
D VIENG Santitham is the undisputed heavyweight of the neighborhood. Developed by the national giant Sansiri, it brought a level of "Bangkok Luxury" to a historically local district. Completed in 2015, its design is a beautiful blend of traditional Lanna wooden aesthetics and contemporary low-rise architecture.
The project is famous for its massive central pool and clubhouse, which act as a micro-oasis. Because the buildings are only five stories high, the internal courtyard feels private and breezy, effectively blocking out the noise of the bustling Santitham streets outside.
Pros
- Brand & Maintenance - Managed by Plus Property, the building is kept in immaculate condition. It still feels brand new.
- Resort Facilities - The pool is genuinely large enough for laps, and the gym is one of the best in a low-rise condo.
- Prime Santitham - You are surrounded by the best cafes in the city but can walk to the Old City in 10 minutes.
- Investment Value - These units rent faster than almost any other building in Chiang Mai.
Cons
- The "Farang Ghetto" Effect - It is so popular with expats that it can feel a bit disconnected from the local Thai vibe of the surrounding streets.
- Price Premium - Rents here are typically 13,000-18,000 THB, significantly higher than other Santitham options.
- Street Noise - Units facing the outer Hussadhisawee Road can experience significant motorbike noise.
The Bottom Line
D VIENG Santitham is the "Sanctuary in Santitham." If you love the local vibe of Chiang Mai - street stalls, tangled wires, and scooters - but still want to come home to a 5-star resort pool and a clean, modern room, this is the only building in the area that offers that specific combination.
